I will admit to an irrational fear of flying in helos. Had my fair share of ride along from the carrier, especially during tsunami response operations. And in port I never missed an opportunity to buy crews a beer just so if they ever needed to fish me out of the water, knowing I buy them beer might make a difference.

The Osprey has way too may moving parts and heavy big engines. I contend that the number of whirling and beating parts forces the planet to cringe, and reject the craft - thus flight.

BUT - being able to hover is pretty freaking cool.
